Refugio De Vida Silvestre Marine Costero Pacoche

We spent the morning hiking in the rainforest. A guide is required and the cost is $20 but there is no limit to the group size. Our Guide was Carlos and he was excellent.

The walk is all downhill and fairly easy but rocky and slippery near the stream on the lower trail.

We saw tarantulas, poisonous spiders (hunting frogs), tiny tree frogs, redheaded woodpeckers, howler monkeys and lizards. Also bamboo, ficus, mahogany, ivory nut, arabica coffee, pineapple, banana, plantain, grapefruit and orange trees. The rainforest also has black panthers, armadillos, and laughing falcons which we did not see.
